"Onii-chan, let's do it sesseto!"
[word play: せっせと (sesseto) means to be diligent or to have sex]
"Can we stop making out-of-bounds statements from the get-go?"
"What are you talking about? Doing something sesseto 'diligently' is perfectly fine Japanese, and it doesn't refer to anything specific, you know?"
"Don't go thinking slang gets a pass..."
For a little sister, her brave stance of charging right up to the line on her very first move leaves me somewhere between dumbfounded and baffled. Achi's absolute freedom is almost impressive. That aside, stop making statements that could cause trouble; just because nobody's watching doesn't mean you can do whatever you want.
"Now, now, let me talk while having breakfast. We only exist to have stupid, everyday conversations, after all."
"Another meta comment... Just understand that there are people out there who won't laugh and let it slide."
"As long as they enjoy our conversation, it's not a problem, right?"
Well, the fact that we're having stupid conversations is true, so I can't deny that... but even so, that's not something you should be saying out loud.
"Speaking of which, AI has been making a lot of progress lately. Do you think we'll be replaced by AI eventually, too?"
"Rest easy, that's the one thing that won't happen. Being handwritten is pretty much one of our few selling points."
"Having 'written by a human' as a selling point is a bit concerning if you ask me. Though I suppose trying to get a good old American-made product to write a brother-sister story would be impossible from the start anyway."
Well, sure, usually if you try to make an AI write that, it'll refuse, but I think staying within the line where even an AI could write it is the safe bet.
"By the way, Onii-chan, there hasn't been any mention of what we're wearing right now, has there?"
"What are you talking about? We're sitting at the table in our pajamas for breakfast, aren't we?"
"Onii-chan! Read the room! Thanks to you, our outfits are pajamas now! Since there was no mention, there was a chance we were completely nude, and you just ruined it, you know? How much of a difference in sales do you think skin exposure makes when this gets an anime adaptation?!"
"Something that hasn't even been published as a book isn't getting an anime adaptation. Besides, if there were a household where people ate breakfast naked, that'd be insane."
Just because something isn't explicitly mentioned doesn't mean you can go beyond the bounds of common sense, you know? If you start saying stuff like that, taken to the extreme, you'd need to explain the movement of every single atom on Earth...
"Well, I'll let you off the hook for today. You should thank me for my generosity, you know?"
"No matter how you look at it, you dropping unhinged remarks is the real issue here..."
"Oh, picking a fight? I have free will, so even if I strip right here and pounce on you, I could force the author to describe it in detail, you know?"
"That threat is ruthless! Don't think freedom is some absolute, unconditional good!"
Just because you can do anything doesn't mean you should do anything. As we carried on with that silly conversation, time was running out anyway, so this is where it ends regardless.
"Stay tuned for next time!"
Don't go adding your own preview, my sister...
